About this session
- Clarifies your intention
- Opens the heart
- Builds inner peace
- Lifts your mood
Sahara Rose guides you to name one thing you want to give yourself to, then complete the sentence "I am devoted to." You imagine it as a picture, like a bed of roses, a swan or a mountain, and place your hands over your heart.
It suits anyone who is tired of pushing through the day on discipline alone. Use it first thing in the morning, before your tasks begin, or whenever you want to reconnect with why you are doing something and let it feel lighter.

Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What does it mean to be devoted to something here?
Sahara Rose offers examples such as joy, creativity, harmony, courage, expansion and abundance. You choose one quality for this practice and repeat in your mind, "I am devoted to," finishing the sentence yourself. It becomes the focus you carry through the session and the day.
How is devotion different from discipline in this meditation?
Discipline is described as coming through the mind: forcing yourself to do what you don't want to do, with hard work and struggle. Devotion comes through the heart, from a deep longing to embody an experience. With devotion, you don't have to convince yourself of anything, because it feels like a natural part of you.
Why am I asked to visualize an image of my devotion?
The image gives your devotion something you can see and feel. The meditation suggests a bed of roses, a swan or a great mountain, anything that inspires you and makes you want to commit. The point is that it moves you from the heart, not the mind.
Why are my hands placed on my heart?
Your hands on your heart anchor the practice in the place devotion is said to come from. You repeat your affirmation, "I am devoted to," while touching it. Your fingers stay there even as you open your eyes at the end.
What happens with the breaths near the end?
You take three breaths, each one deeper than the last. On the final, deepest inhale you gather all your love and devotion, then exhale it out with a smile. Then you wiggle your toes and fingers and open your eyes to continue your day.
What if I can't think of what I'm devoted to?
Choose any quality you want more of, like the examples given: joy, courage or harmony. You can also ask how you could devote yourself to it from a place of effortless flow. The meditation asks you to pick something for this practice, so it doesn't need to be a lifelong commitment.
